Last Chapter Ending:

'People... soon they will be ours... now... let's come up with a plan... we split them up with the least interested of our group, and we'll get them back on the playing field...'

Chapter 13: Bridge to the camp of wizards...

The girls returned to the common room, and Becka sat down with Sirius, who was telling really lame jokes.

'Ok... A guy walked into a bar... ouch!' Sirius grinned as Becka playfully swatted his arm.

'That's really bad...' she smiled.

'Yeah,' And the two kissed.

Frances gagged in the corner with Remus.

'Shut up!' Becka exclaimed.

'Why?' Frances smiled.

'Cause... it's not like you two haven't kissed!'

Remus and Frances turned bright red.

'yikes... we leave in an hour... better double check what we packed...' the six ran up the stairs and to their dorms.

~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~

'Ok guys... we have our plan... let's use it...' Anika grinned. Soon she'd have James in her arms...

Bhagya walked out of the room and thought about what tomorrow held. Sirius Black would be hers in less than 24 hours... and Veronica Sha would make sure of it...

Jessica Morte left the room with a pang of guilt in her stomach. What if Sirius and Becka were meant to be together? Or James and Lily? Sure, she loved the marauders as much as the next person... but she didn't want to destroy fate...

Alison and Anika talked away about what they were going to do, when she noticed a hot fifth year walk past the room. She ran out, and started talking to him.

" Mmm... he's a beater... on the Gryffindor quidditch team... muscular... hot..." Alison thought as she talked to him.

'What's your name?' She twirled a piece of her ebony hair around her finger, and looked at the boy.

'Uh... Matt Ryan...'

Alison smiled and continued to chat.

Before she knew it... she was on her way to the Astronomy tower for a snog and maybe a shag... Whatever it was... she wasn't about to say no...'

~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~

Becka went through her bag for the last time, and she and Lily ran downstairs... only to find Remus cornered by a girl, trying to kiss him.

'Remus... she'll never know...' The girl, Stacey, said, trying to convince Remus.

'Oy! Get away from him!' Becka, Sirius, James and Lily cried, seeing what was happening. Stacey turned, and ran off, seeing she was out-numbered.

At that moment, Christina ran into the common room in tears.

'What's wrong?' Becka and lily ran over to her.

'M...m...Matt's been cheating on me!' Christina sobbed. Becka hugged her.

'With who?' Lily asked.

'Alison Lockhart...' Christina ran up to the dorm, and the two girls followed.

'She's a slut... don't worry about it...'

Christina looked up with her bloodshot eyes, and blinked a tear out of her eye.

'Really?'

'Yeah... she probably seduced him...' Lily rolled her eyes.

'She's a big player and a slut... don't worry...This doesn't mean a thing...' Becka hugged Christina.

'Yeah... but it still hurts... he cheated on me, and that's something I can't easily forgive...'

Soon, it was time for the 5th years to depart on their second camp, and they were all eager. This time, they travelled two to a broomstick.

Frances took Remus, Becka took Sirius and James took Lily... much to her objections.

'Look... London...' Becka pointed out to her friends.

Becka turned to see how Christina was doing, but she seemed distant.

'She's still a little shaken up... give her time...' Lily said soothingly.

Matt and Christina were put on separate broomsticks, which made Christina feel at least a bit better...

'Christina... wait!' Matt sped up to try and talk to her, but she sped off to the teachers.

'What's her problem?' Matt asked Becka and Lily.

'If you don't know... we're not gonna tell...' Becka and Lily retorted angrily.

'OK! We shall be stopping off here, in this park. Drop into the clearing I point out...' Professor McGonagall pointed below.

Sirius nuzzled Becka's neck as she directed the broom down.

~+~

'Could Becka Stockaz and Sirius Black come here?' Flitwick asked, as everyone landed.

The two trudged over, and Flitwick smiled.

'You two can help carrying the quidditch gear,' he indicated two large, heavy boxes on the ground.

Becka and Sirius nodded, then Becka charmed them to be lighter.

'I never thought of that...' Flitwick walked off, shaking his head.

Then, Becka and Sirius magically tied them to their broomsticks.

'Done =)'

~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~

Lily felt uncomfortable. James sat behind her with his arms around her waist... not that she really was complaining... but James might mind...

She was wrong...

James was in heaven...

~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~

Alison was flying with Amos Diggory, and talking with her best friends, Monique Da Silva.

'Our plan starts tonight...' Alison smirked evilly.

'Operation Red-nosed Bandicoot...' Monique high-fived Alison, then returned her hands to around her boyfriend, Mark Darrah's, waist.

'Can we fly off now... I need speed...' (A/N on a broomstick! not the drug!!) Mark grunted as Monique snuggled close.

'Sure...'

~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~

At the next pit stop, Becka and Sirius got their loads removed, and were placed back on Becka's broomstick.

This time, Becka sat at the back, and Sirius flew.

'I wonder how James and Lily are going...' Becka smiled at the thought. But, she hadn't heard screaming, or yelling, so that had to be a good sign...

~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~

Lily sat behind James on the broomstick with her arms around him. She was so close she could feel his heartbeat...she could smell his hair.

Then it struck her...

"I need to talk to Becka..." Lily thought, wishing she was a telepath.

*~+~*

James smiled. Lily was with him, and he could feel every delicacy about her.

The way her heart beat... how her hair smelt... There was no doubt about it now in his mind...

James loved her, and he wouldn't be embarrassed or ashamed to say it... to anyone...

~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~

At the final pit stop, Lily grabbed Becka and pulled her away from the other 5th years.

'Yeah Lilz? What's up?' Becka asked her friend.

'Umm... I think I'm in... love...'

Becka gasped.

'W...W...W...With who?'

'Um... this is kinda hard to say... I'm in love with... James...'

~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~

'This is the last stop before we continue to the campsite, please use the bathroom, and make sure you are prepared for the flight ahead...' Professor McGonagall cried out to the students.

Godric's angels ran over to the bathroom, and quickly brushed up, before going out to the brooms.

'Ready?' James smiled at Lily, who blushed as red as her hair.

'Umm... yeah...' Lily looked up at James, and stared into his big, brown eyes.

Was it just her, or was there something more staring back at her. When she looked at them, she felt lost deep within them. She kept staring at James' face, and looked at his features.

His soft lips... she just wanted to touch them... to kiss them...

His nose... so small... but just big enough to fit his face...

His glasses... a perfect round shape...

Lily kept staring, and James must have noticed, because soon he spoke.

'You alright Lily?' Lily shook her head, and snapped out of it.

'Er... yeah...'

~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~

The 5th years hopped on their brooms, and flew off.

Lily hugged James' waist, and asked herself.

"What is this feeling taking over?" Lily thought.

"Maybe it's time... to feel... what's real... Goodbye Miss Independent..."

*~+~*

James felt Lily's arms around his waist and sighed. He truly did love Lily, but couldn't bring himself to admit it to her.

'Look ahead!' Lily exclaimed as the huge castle came into view.

'Camp Merlin...' James muttered.

'Your cabin numbers are on the list here... please go and find your rooms, and go to bed... goodnight...' Flitwick and McGonagall called as everyone landed.

The girls went to the list, and found their cabin number.

Then, they ran over, and hopped into bed.

~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~

Becka and Lily tossed and turned.

Neither could sleep, so Lily got Becka up, and they decided to go for a walk.

When they snuck out of bed, Becka noticed that neither Sirius nor James were in bed either... but thought nothing of it.

"Probably couldn't sleep either..." She mumbled to herself.

*~+~*

' I just don't know Padfoot... the way she was looking at me today, it almost seemed like she... well... had the same feelings for me...' James kicked a rock outside on the field.

'Maybe she does... Becka might know... I'll ask her later...' Sirius grinned thoughtfully.

'I know what would cheer you up... let's transform and run around a little... it will take your mind off things =)'

*~+~*

Becka and Lily walked through the trees and onto the field.

When Lily looked up, she spotted James and Sirius in the distance... or what she thought was James and Sirius... where they had stood, was now a stag and a bear-like dog...

'Oh My Lord... they're Animungi...' Becka gasped.

'Ooh! I've read about those... I even tried it once... I nearly turned into an eagle...' Lily cried quietly.

'Yeah... Frances and I tried it once before... I transformed into a fox... wanna try again?'

'Yeah!' Lily and Becka concentrated really hard.

"Be the animal... Think like the animal... she it's heart..." Lily chanted inside her mind, with here eyes tightly closed.

When she opened them, instead of seeing her best friend in front of her, she saw a small golden fox.

'Becka?' Lily tried to speak, but instead, a high squawk erupted from her mouth.

Lily was no longer human... she was a beautiful eagle.

Lily spread her wings, and flew her first flight, soaring over the trees.

Becka followed, and streaked across the lawn, both girls completely forgetting that the stag and dog were still there...
